Description
New technology has opened the world under the oceans as never before, but access has created ownership issues. The "Law of the Sea" goes back to an ancient Phoenician colony on the Island of Rhodes.

Today's questions about access to the oceans' wealth isbbeing re-argued in international courts like the United Nations.
